Art In Wax : Encaustic Art By Hazel Rayfield

Etsy changes …..

I noticed today my Miniature Art Etsy store display has changed.
Etsy have been rolling out changes over the past few months and this is how my items are looking today.

Descriptions and paintings information is now on the side instead of underneath the photographs and there is now more information available.

I’m in the process of updating my listing so they have the best for keywords etc as Etsy search is very important and I need to fine tune my online presence with the changes, but my store is open as normal.

Shopping for Miniature and Dollhouse Collectible Art

Nothing much has changed for shoppers. All items are available! Just watch out to the side for more information including size and terms etc.

My store accepts both PayPal and Etsy pay payment options. Etsy pay allows payment with not need for a pay pal account as they take most major cards.

Haberdashery In Miniature

A collector of my miniature art, who is a dolls house collector and miniaturist contacted me a short while ago as she was starting her latest project, a miniature 1:12th scale haberdashery, come dress shop, come Ladies boutique, in a vintage period style, and she asked me to paint some specific pieces of miniature art for her new project.

Commissioned to paint for a themed property

So I have been commissioned to paint for this interesting project and I’m having a lot of fun painting in the theme, with an open brief my imagination and Wax has been flowing.

I have worked with Tricia before on her Dance Studio and she has quite a collection of my miniature Art In Wax. These are some of the paintings for her haberdashery store, which is now underway, the building shell of the shop can be seen in the picture above, once the property is complete I am hoping Tricia will let us see the finished shop, with all it’s Art In Wax on display.

The mannequin dress painted panels are 13 cm high and will be mounted in the wall. The panels tie in with the set of four miniature pieces each with the project theme, period style dresses, sewing, threads, wool and yarn. All these pieces are painted in Encaustic paint on specialist gloss card which is cream in colour. The most recent piece, finished this week is the antique style sewing machine and and basket of fabric painting.

The two mixed media advertising style plaques, are unusual and a unique challenge of their own.

Mixed Media Miniature Art In Wax

This painting style like a sign, plaque or advertisement works great as a miniature for a dollhouse size shop. Giving a very unique and personal feel to the art. I have in the past painted in this style for property signs and personalised art.
The paintings are a combination of ink and encaustic Wax paint. I used my computer and printed the ink lettering into a semi sheen (and semi absorbent) card support then wax painted over the printing, this seals the print into the painting and then I paint the picture. Only the text is printed.
